The person is saying that they listened to their father and became successful because they knew when to shut up and when it was okay to argue back.

The deeper, hidden meaning might be that the speaker low key regrets having accepted their father's decisions all the time. It seems like the father would win every argument and the speaker couldn't win, so they "just accepted" things, because they knew arguing was futile. They do belive that their father knew best, but also feel forced to accept circumstances. The speaker is likely now talking to their own child, teaching them how to follow orders, and stay in line.

Pick a descriptive passage from a chapter of Silas Marner. Give reasons why you think that it adds to character in action.
slavikrds [6]
A descriptive passage that might reveal more information about Silas could be the following;
<span>"Strangely Marner’s face and figure shrank and bent themselves into a constant mechanical relation to the objects of his life, so that he produced the same sort of impression as a handle or a crooked tube, which has no meaning standing apart. The prominent eyes that used to look trusting and dreamy, now looked as if they had been made to see only one kind of thing that was very small, like tiny grain, for which they hunted everywhere; and he was so withered and yellow, that, though he was not yet forty, the children always called him “Old Master Marner.” (chapter 2)
</span>From this excerpt, the reader might get to know that he lives a mechanical life in the industrialized world so he seems to be dehumanized just for the fact that he lives to work and get money.
